A little bit about me

Hello! I am a highly motivated and passionate Lead Preschool Teacher with a B. S. in Management. I currently care for 8 one-year-olds in a daycare setting. I have 2+ years of full-time experience working at a daycare/preschool and 5+ years of part-time experience working and volunteering as a gymnastics coach and an aide at daycares. In my free time I love to garden, surf, and try out new vegetarian recipes.

I am looking for a full-time placement with 1+ infants/toddlers. Ideally, I would like to work for one family for a prolonged period of time (2-5 years).

If I sound like a good fit for your family I would love to schedule an interview.

A little bit about me

Hi my name is dejanae and I’m 20 about to be 21 years old in February. I run on the sdsu track team and I’m a jumper there. I also attend school at sdsu and my major is criminal justice, psychology, and sociology. I get COVID tested weekly for track so if that’s something that you would like to make sure of too, I can send you my COVID results I get weekly as well. I am a very active, fun loving, and sweet person that really loves kids. I took child development for two years back in high school and in my classes now I have been learning about the mind and social awareness of children as well!!! (Little fact lol). But I have been nanny and babysitting for a while, and I’m excited to get ready for my next adventure. Message if you have any questions!
